I could see your love, in their clear honesty.In the moment that they looked into mine.I could taste it, on your moistened lips,as we drank to us and sipped our wine.

Our playful innuendo, hand fitting hand.Walking and talking, doing what we do.Sharing an appetizer and the same wavelength.The simple pleasures, when it’s me with you.

Yet, there was more, inside your beautiful smile. In each expressive nuance of your lovely face.More of something, that was strongly tangible.I could feel it, with certainty, in every embrace.

We seemed to hold on just a little longer, and stronger.And there was this extra warmth in your soft touch.It seemed as though you were exuding happiness.A pleasure in knowing that we have found so much.

The realization, that you are allowed to be happy.That you can be yourself, and be entitled to more.I recognized the difference, like the flip of a switch.Aglow, in a radiant light, when you opened your door.

I already realized how much that I loved you,and I knew of so many reasons why.It was obvious that we were terrific together.And I knew for sure that I was a lucky guy.

But what struck me most, on this night,was seeing just how content that you were.I sincerely had hoped you were as happy as I.It felt wonderful to know it for sure.

You have opened my eyesto how much that you appreciate me.I see so much, through you…And I love all that I can see.
